Another Wary, and yet another kernel! See announcement:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01906

Hopefully, though, this one is close to a Release Candidate (fingers crossed).

And, is this 2.6.31.14 kernel "The One"?

[Billtoo]

I have 094 installed to an 8gb flash drive.The commercial ati driver
installed okay.The video driver upgrade wizard is advising to install
the commercial ati driver which is already installed.
The icon for retrovol in the tray is x'ed out but I do have sound.
Hardinfo doesn't give any info on temperature like it did in 092.

I am happy that this pc wasn't shut out by the new (older) kernel in
094.

I have upgraded the firmware tarballs for the Conexant HSF and HCF modems. Attached.

These two files go into /lib/modules/all-firmware/.

If you have such a modem, after downloading these files and placing them at the correct location, delete any line in /etc/modules/firmware.inst.2.6.31.14 with "hcfpcimodem" or "hsfmodem", then reboot.

Note, these tarballs have gone into Woof, so will be in future Woof-built puppies.

Looking VERY good so far including the notorious OpenOffice

Billtoo,
Looking at your snapshot, I see that the Video Upgrade Wizard is displaying some wrong information.

Could you please post the output from running this in a terminal window:

# lspci -nn -m

Also, could you please gzip your xorg.conf file and post it here:

# gzip /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Thanks very much.

OpenOffice Writer, LibreOffice Spreadsheet, Gnumeric, and borked mplayer
Enabling transparency in jwm borks it



Both OpenOffice, LibreOffice and java are running from sfs files. Cool. Printer installed no problem, and Gnumeric does not stall for a few seconds while gathering printer info (it did on 09 and 092). Very close to RC.

Holy CRAP Barry what did you do.. Seamonkey is absolutely flying. The screen re-draw is the best ever, Linux, Windows, whatever. Well done...

Going back, most Puppies since 4.3.1 has had big problems on my system with this webcam http://livecam.courchevel.com/index.php?langue=2
094 just nails it Brilliant.

Fresh manual frugal install of Wary 094 on the old P3 test box. Working sound but not internet connection on initial boot.Easy enough to connect with SNS though.

1) wary 094 clean frugal, sound works, wireless internet works

2) wary 094 second restart upgrade previous warysave
- this time no sound ie muted
- open full window make changes still no sound
- open config window > tray > tray slider was set to "19:Beep..."
- changed to "21:Master..." and sound is ok

This has happened with a previous wary/quirky/puppy but I did not make a note.

Also icons I added to the desktop/pinboard did not show up after the upgrade.

Quite a snappy puppy!
